Has anyone done a comparison of the available scout scopes in a variety of price ranges? I need to put one on a Marlin 45-70 SBL quickly. I was looking at the new variable from SWFA and Leupold but have not come acoss a review of it yet. I was also thinking about a fixed power scope too. I am just not sure which way I want to go.

I'm in the same boat. Sounds like you're in a hurry. for a quick fix throw the XS rail on there (if it isnt already) and an aimpoint micro in the factory mount. My $80 bushnell 1.75-4X extended eye relief in very low rings (I'll get a height for you) I used previously on a slug gun has shown great promise as well.

I'm very interested in the new leupold scounts, as it and the burris are really the only variable power with the proper eye relief for scout setups.

I'm currently playing with the above mentioned setups on my STBL. I also have an aimpoint 3x magnifier I'm trying to get to work, but all the mounts I've tried so far are too high.
